Great effort springs naturally from great attitude.

QUOTE FOR THE WEEK/ ALSO TRAINING INFO

Javelin throwers did a terrific job today! I applaud you despite the mist at the end of practice!

For those of you away, it is high recommended that each day you are away, you involve yourself with our warmup as well as drills.

Long Sprinters and Distance Runners - Run for 20- 25 minutes on your own or on a Treadmill or swim or bike for an equal amount of time.  Stretch afterwards as needed and make certain to hydrate.

Short Sprinters - Do sets of short speed work. I would suggest 2 - 3 x (4 x 50's )with  a break of about 3 minutes in between. Then do core work (60 second planks).

Throwers - practice your movements and specific cues Coach Carr has embedded into your minds. Core work is good. Javelin throwers grab a broom and work on your form as well.

Clear your mind as we prepare for the post season! Enjoy your time off!

We will go back to normal on Tuesday. We are starting the COMPETITIVE PHASE of the season!

PRACTICE CONFUSION

 Saturday's MANDATORY practice has been upset by a road race agenda. There is now confusion if and when practice actually is.

I suggest that those going to the road race, come to practice for 8AM for final instructions on their events.

Because of personnel issues, some folks will not be entered on Monday, there shall NOT be a pole vault entry from us for safety reasons. This MIGHT change, but no assurances. Administration can decide.

Read your e-mail for event changes today. Race runners shall be released once they secure their event  information. EVERYONE ELSE please arrive for a short practice at 8:30.

NEXT WEEKS practice schedule is as follows and shall be followed accordingly unless MONDAY'S meet is postponed:

WED - 2-4

THU - 2-4

FRI  - 2-4

SAT - 8 - 10  (no excuses...AGAWAM on Tuesday)

MON - 2-4

TUE - MEET AT AGAWAM

TRUTH

This week, consider what events you are interested in. Once you have competed in them (either in practice or actual competition), start setting goals for them in Trackcentral (www.trackcentral.net).

It is okay to change or modify your goals...that is considered "growth". Just make certain to write them down.
